Kalu, a member of the All Progressives Congress is the member representing Bende Federal Constituency of Abia State.
Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt yesterday, NDRA national coordinator, Hon. Bright Ngolo, said no candidate vying on the platform of the ruling APC can win the position through the votes of APC members-elect alone. Ngolo said: “In recent days, we had read of very pedestrian and jaundiced reasons why positions should be zoned or allocated to certain individuals which we find very ridiculous and insulting to our collective sensibilities as Nigerians.
“We have also read personal attacks, rendition of ethnic jingoism, unnecessary sense of entitlements, attempts at projecting strongmen rather than institutions etc etc. “All these point to one thing – lack of democratic credentials by all those who seek to market and introduce obviously unqualified candidates to the Nigerian people as speaker of the House of Representatives.
